1-2) Out of context. The discussion was about Clark's record in making decisions, not the team's over all record. And you are not being intellectually honest in your break down of events. Of the 2 GMs one was already here. Of the 3 HCs one was already here. So he only responsible for 1 GM and 2 HCs. Which takes us to...

3) What is your track record in hiring people? How many have worked out and how many haven't? How many looked like stellar candidates only to turn out to be terrible hires? It is hit and miss just like any thing else in life. You are ready to hang the guy after his first big time hire. Imagine if your clientele left you for another business after your first bad hire...

Nah - Haley wasn't the answer either. He was clearly better than Crennel, but he was a shitty HC hire in his own right.

Yet Clark will refuse to learn his lesson on that one. Nope - gotta make sure we dick around and let the good candidates get snapped up. That way, in 3 years when we still suck dicks, the Truefans can write off 2013 because "The new coach/GM had a shortened timeline before the draft and training camp...."

It still blows me away how hard they rode that line in excusing the 2009 draft until the last of the rats finally hopped off that sinking ship. This fanbase is full of mindless dittoheads.

810 needs to get to the Hunt interview - these callers are ****ing reeruned.

Why does every ****ing caller sound like a mouthbreather?

Terry Bradway? JFC

Look how many are in this thread trying to spin this as positive.

Agreed. I could practically smell the Copenhagen and Old Milwaukees on that last guy.

It's not about PIOLI

jesus, you are obsessed

It's about Hunt keeping his current GM until he knows he has a new one.

insurance,leverage .... whatever

"Let's not act like this is the worse franchise in football"/Petro

Petro saying this isn't the worst franchise in football.

2-14, #1 overall pick in the draft.

The timing of the Haley hire was not a dumb decision. Pioli was hired very late so most head coaches were taken. Our option was to accept a head coach nobody wanted, or wait on Haley to become available. I liked the Haley hire and still do, and anyone who thought it was a terrible hire is talking revisionist history. At the time pioli was hired, he was the only thing close to a good candidate on the market.

Hunt hired pioli and it appeared that the option was either hire Haley or let herm lame duck so that in 2009, the chiefs would get to search for a coach in the first wave. Pendergast is a classic example of a lame duck hire because of what was available at the time. Once we knew haley was in, herm was out. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something similar here. I don't care how it's done, as long as it is done and pioli can't demolish this franchise any further.

But, but, we're over .500 as a franchise.

HOw does that make sense? I know you don't think all the Pioli rumors are true and you would like to keep the guy, but why do you have to have a new GM in place to fire the current failure?


Seems like that would actually deter future Gm prospects from talking about the job.

You think KC is worse than the Jags? At least there are some pieces here.

I really love the "we've been to two Superbowls" bullshit.
